There were the changes of shapes and color tones when the soil materials e.g. Blue-Porcelain, White-Porcelain, Bunchong, mixed A and B, mullite, Sanchong and Ongki - used by most domestic ceramic artists - were glazed at $ 950^{\circ}C,; 1200^{\circ}C,; 1250^{\circ}C,; 1280^{\circ}C,;1300^{\circ}C$ After the materials were dried out at 120t: in an electric oven, they were mixed with water, keeping the percentage of moisture content 25% and kneaded specimens which are hexahedron by $$ 250{\times}30{\times}8mm$$were produced and dried after calibrated at 200mm interval with a vernier caliper. After the materials were dried and glazed, they showed few shape-changes at $950^{\circ}C$ but began to changed at $1200^{\circ}C$,especially Bunchong and Ongki made rapid changes. In the case of color-change, White-Porcelain changed very little. The color of Blue-Porcelain, mixed A and B, Sanchong, Mullite changed to ]aune brilliant as temperature went up but Bunchong and Ongki changed to dark brown or dark chocolate under the same conditions. This study aims at suggestion of the basic data which minimize failure rates by recognizing the property of the materials on the basis of this study and regulating shape-change phenomena and sensitive changes of color when ceramic artists work.

Porcelain (white ware, celadon ware) coated with a ferrous sulfate and ferrous/cobalt sulfate was sintered at 1250℃. The specimens were investigated by HR-XRD, FE-SEM, HR-EDS, and UV-vis spectrophotometer. Through X-ray rietveld quantitative analysis, quartz and mullite were found to be the main phases for white ware, and mullite and plagioclase were found to be the main phases for celadon ware. When the pigment of ferrous/cobalt sulfate was applied, were identified as an andradite phase for celadon ware and a spinel phase for the white ware, and the amorphous phase, respectively. The L^* value, which was the brightness of the specimen, was 72.01, 60.92 for white ware and celadon ware, respectively. The ferrous and ferrous/cobalt pigment coated porcelain had L^* values of 44.89, 52.27 for white ware and celadon ware, respectively; with a^* values of 2.12, 1.40, an d at b^* values of 1.45 and 13.79. As for the color of the specimens, it was found that the L^* value was greatly affected by the white ware, and the b^* value differed greatly depending on the clay. It was thought to be closely related to the production of the secondary phase such as Fe₂O₃ and andradite phase produced in the surface layer.

The thermal analysis of $Al(OH)_3-SiO_2-AIF_3$ system was done. The thermal behaviors of components and the effect of moisture on the formation of mullite were investigated via TG-DTA and XRD analysis. The mixture of $Al(OH)_3,\;SiO_2,\;AIF_3$showed two endothermic peaks with drastic weight loss and one exothermic peak. Fluorotopaz was formed at $800^{\circ}C$ and turned into mullite completely at $1100^{\circ}C$. But the mixture $Al_2O_3$ of or dehydrated $Al(OH)_3$ and $SiO_2$ could not form mullite even at $1200^{\circ}C$ in which the crystalline phases were $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ ana cristobalite. It was found that the synthesized mullite was aciculate shaped single crystalline whisker.

Mullite formation in a porcelain body was promoted extensively by replacing kaolinite with pyrophyllite. Effects of mullite formation and vitrification by substitution of kaolinite with pyrophyllite on the mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. Addition of 45-55% pyrophyllite (pyrophyllite (45-55%)-feldspar (30%)-Gairome clay (20%)) could vitrify the sintered samples (water absorption : 0.05%, bulk density : 2.66g/cc) and improve the flexural strength (122MPa) when fired at $1280^{\circ}C$. Mullite formation was found to be decreased with increasing content of pyrophyllite. On the contrary, beyond 50% of pyrophyllite quartz and cristobalite phases was found to be increased. Thermal expansion coefficient of the samples decreased with increase of mullite phase. In triaxial system of pyrophyllite-feldspar-clay, the mullite formation of the samples with 50% pyrophyllite reaches about 78.7% and thermal expansion coefficient was found to be $5.4{\times}10^{-6}/K$.

Purified kaolin and ${\alpha}$-$Al_2O_3$ particiles which are less then 10${\mu}$ in diameter were collected through sedimentation and mixed in the ratio of 3A-2S and then its reaction rates were measured at temperatures 1350 to 1450$^{\circ}$C. The kinetic data were correlated with Jander's equation, but not with modified Jander's equation. With mineralizer added, yield increased about 15% and activation energy decreased from 142kcal/mol to 90kcal/mol.

Porous mullite/alumina composites have been fabricated by a freeze casting technique using TBA-based coal fly ash/alumina slurry. After sintering, unidirectional macropore channels aligned regularly along the TBA ice growth direction were developed; simultaneously, small sized micropores fromed in the outer walls of the pore channels. The physical and mechanical properties (e.g. porosity and compressive strength) of the sintered porous composites were roughly dependant of processing conditions, due to the complexity of the factors affecting them. However, with increasing solid loading and sintering temperature, the compressive strength generally increased and the porosity decreased. After sintering $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, the porous specimen (porosity: 52.1%) showed a maximum compressive strength of 70.0 MPa.

Three-layer porous alumina-mullite composites with a symmetric gradient porosity are prepared using a controlled freeze/gel-casting method. In this work, tertiary-butyl alcohol (TBA) and coal fly ash with an appropriate addition of $Al_2O_3$ were used as the freezing vehicle and the starting material, respectively. When sintered at $1300-1500^{\circ}C$, unidirectional macro-pore channels aligned regularly along the growth direction of solid TBA were developed. Simultaneously, the pore channels were surrounded by less porous structured walls. A high degree of solid loading resulted in low porosity and a small pore size, leading to higher compressive strength. The sintered porous layered composite exhibited improved compressive strength with a slight decrease in its porosity. After sintering at $1500^{\circ}C$, the layered composite consisting of outer layers with a 50 wt% solid loading showed the highest compressive strength ($90.8{\pm}3.7MPa$) with porosity of approximately 26.4%.

The special binding mechanism developed provides higher density, lower porosity and higher strengths compared with conventional castables. $\rho$-alumina was employed as a binder materials and nano-sized clay colloidal was added to enhance the drying strength preparing for the alumina vibrated castable. Lower water requirement for casting results in a denser product. The mechanical properties with dimensional stability and corrosion resistance behaviors have been improved by controlling the matrix compositions of the castable. The modulus of rupture and compressive strength after heat treatment at 150$0^{\circ}C$ are 92.34 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 370 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ respectively. The activation energy of mullite formation is 11.47 kcal/mol.

Additives for low temperature sintering of mullite ceramics were investigated for matching Mo-Cu conducting paste with that ceramics at 1,400$^{\circ}C$. $SiO_2$, MgO and $Y_2O_3$ were chosen as the additives for low temperature sintering, and the amounts of those additives were varied with sintering temperature of 1,400$^{\circ}C$ to 1,500$^{\circ}C$. With additives of 1.0 wt% of $SiO_2$, 1.0 wt% of MgO, and 1.5 wt% of $Y_2O_3$, the densest sintered body of 3.12 g/$cm^3$ was obtained at 1,400$^{\circ}C$ in reducing atmosphere. The flexural strength of that was 325 MPa and the CTE (Coefficient of thermal expansion) was 4.33 ppm/$^{\circ}C$.

The Corrosion behavior of the matrix of the $\rho$-alumina bonded alumina vibrated castable was, on the basis of Jabsen's theory, elucidated by use of the Kingery's reaction mechanism. Corrosion of the matrix during induction period was controlled by the molecular diffusion. The temperature dependence of activation process is well established by the Arrhenius plots. The difference of Ca concentration between slag and interface is 23.2%, which causes a driving force of the materials transfer. The extent of the corrosion of the matrix is more deeper than that of the sintered mullite, but the corrosion mechanism can be well employed as the reaction mechanism proposed by the Kingery. The life time of the castable may be well estimated by the corrosion mechanism of Kingery.
